The Weekend

I'm sorry, friends. I've failed you. I've missed a day.

Last night I got home at around 4am. CA and I went out to the bars with her old housemate and his girlfriend from Boston. So after waking up 9am, CA and I drank until around 4am, ate a cheese steak and some fries, and popped into a cab back to brooklyn. So today was pretty much wasted. I guess not wasted. I stayed in all day and drank coffee and ate bagels.

Now we're watching an interview on Entertainment Tonight with John Gosling, of the famed TV show 'John & Kate + Eight'. Basically, this guy is just an idiot. He's stupid. That's not fair. He's fucked. That's the problem. He's completely fucked. Not as a person or whatever, but politically or socially or something. He just shouldn't be talking to the media at all. It's like watching somebody say something ethnically insensitive and then realizing that said something just made everyone uncomfortable. the inevitable back-peddling that follows is the always worse than the original statement. Watching John Gosling on TV is a complete train wreck. So he's fucked. He behaves like a child. He seems to know better, but just chooses not to change his behavior. Like, his response to the question, "you seem to not be able to stay out of the lime-light?" is beautiful. John basically said, "it's good to be in the media so long as your portrayal is good, but i'm not going to change..." So, like, that's cool. It's close to something like madness. You know how people think it's really interesting that the "definition" of madness is something like, "attempting something repeatedly, expecting different results." So I guess some people think that definition is suuuuper interesting. Probably cause people exhibit that behavior all the time. So anyway, you get it. Gosling is portrayed as an asshole in the media, he behaves like an asshole, he wants to be portrayed as a nice guy, he doesn't want to change. Sooo. Right. Anyway, now we're watching NCIS with L.L. Cool J and Chris O'Donnell, which is way less satisfying. It's difficult, though, to turn down a pseudo cop show with those two characters. I mean it's bad. Like a bunch of idiots miming pro-military propaganda. Lie, this episode is about a dead Navy Seal. LL cool J's character is a Navy Seal. So basically, this show is a big commercial for the Navy Seals, which is nothing like the Navy Seals of my understanding. Instead, this commercial is all about brotherhood, and integrity, and honor and shit, which is obviously, for anyone who knows me, a huge disappointment considering the fact that my understanding of the Navy Seals was founded on cinematic classics like 'Under Seige'. So unless LL and C. O'D start breaking arms over their shoulders, and getting into knife fights like it's their job, i'm changing the channel. Also, there aren't nearly enough strippers poppin out cakes for this show to be about the Navy Seal. Whatever, I have no control over whether or not we watch this show, I think Carolann has a crush on LL. I don't know how she couldn't, ladies love him.

Hope everyone is well out there.

Also, Australians suck so much cock. Topic of tomorrow's BloPo.

Also, gay men cannot legally give blood. Actually, not gay men, men who have ever participated in intercourse with another man cannot give blood. So gay men, and college football players who are not gay but get drunk at parties. So that's the law. Evidently because of their association with HIV. This is actually sad. CA just told me and it made me sad.

- XOXO, Gossip Girl.

Your blogs get more entertaining with everyday. I'm not one to read about peoples everyday shit and find that fun but your writing is almost Seinfeld esque and that makes your life sound hilarious.

I'm pretty sure breaking arms over shoulders and getting into knife fights IS their job, what a rip-off.
